Finnish Institute in Stockholm

The aim of the Finnish Institute in Stockholm is to promote knowledge of Finnish culture and society in Sweden, to support the culture of Sweden’s Finnish minority and to facilitate cultural exchange between the countries.

We have a varied programme of Finnish language courses, exhibitions, concerts, seminars, author readings, and lectures on culture, research and politics. In addition, we organize tours showcasing contemporary Finnish cinema and literature, and import theatre productions for Swedish-Finnish audiences, both children and adults.

Our exhibition space is primarily dedicated to contemporary art. The library has about 19,000 Finnish and Swedish books, over 100 Finnish newspapers and magazines and other media, such as audio books and e-books. The building is also a popular conference facility.
